Balisage 2008 Call for Late-breaking News
The regular (peer-reviewed) part of the Balisage 2008 program has
been scheduled. A few slots on the Balisage program have been
reserved for presentation of “Late-breaking” material.
Proposals for late-breaking slots must be received by June 13,
2008, just before the onsite program goes to press. Because of
the short timeframe, decisions will be made by the Balisage conference
committee, instead of being made in the course of the regular peer
review process.
If you have a presentation that should be part of Balisage, and it
isn't already on the Preliminary
Program, please send a proposal message as plain-text email to info@balisage.net. In order to be
considered for inclusion in the final program, your proposal message
must supply the following information:
- The name(s) and affiliations of the author(s)/speaker(s).
- The email address of the presenter.
- The title of the presentation.
- An abstract of 100-150 words, suitable for immediate distribution.
- A disclosure as to when and where this material has already been
presented or published.
- An indication as to whether the presenter is comfortable giving a conference presentation and answering questions in English about the material to be
presented.
- Your assurance that all authors are willing and able to sign the
Balisage
Non-exclusive Publication Agreement
(http://www.balisage.net/BalisagePublicationAgreement.pdf) with
respect to the proposed presentation.
- Any other information that could aid the conference committee as
it considers your proposal, such an extended abstract or paper, a
detailed outline, samples, code, and/or graphics. We expect to
receive more proposals than we can accept, so it's important that you
send enough information to make your proposal convincing and
exciting. (This material may be attached to the email message, if appropriate.)
The conference committee reserves the right to make editorial
changes in your abstract and/or title as distributed in the onsite
program.
